you dusty eyes were soft and glowin' when first i met you

hannah lee

there was no way for me a-knowin' the sorrow your sweet caress would bring to me

high

high

high is the gallows. long as the rope that waits for me

high as the gallows. they'll hang me for your sins

my hannah lee

you shot and killed your cruel husband because you found you loved but me

and then you lied before the jury and they blamed for your sins

my hanna lee

high

high

high is the gallows. long as the rope that waits for me

high as the gallows. they'll hang me for your sins

my hannah lee

down at the jail on hangin' mornin'

i heard you tell them you had lied

your dusty eyes were soft and glowin' and i saw you hang your head and cry

high

high

high is the gallows. long as the rope that waits for me

high as the gallows. when they hang my lovin' darlin'

hannah lee

when they hang my lovin' darlin'

hannah lee

high as the gallows. when they hang my lovin' darlin'

hannah lee

when they hang my lovin' darlin'
